Possibly the Worst Game Trailer Ever: Guild Wars 2

Yes, it's really that bad!

From the PC Gamer Post:

Yes, the Hitman trailer was dumb. No argument, the Tomb Raider one was controversial. But for sheer, slack-jawed “What in the name of hell were you thinking?”, you really can’t beat this slice of style-over-substance-and-also-sanity drivel. It’s as if NCSoft/ArenaNet looked at Guild Wars 2 and said “You know, it doesn’t seem fair, having the most exciting, smartest MMO of the year. How about we make everyone else feel a bit better by going out there and having our trousers fall around our ankles?”

“Sure thing,” came the reply from on high. “As long as you put a dragon in it.”

You are dumber for having seen that. May all those responsible have their houses spray-painted with CG graffiti, be forced to walk much too slowly across hot coals, and most importantly, have their copy of After Effects taken away. This may seem harsh, but it’s the only way they’re going to learn.

My highest is 27. I've got one of each profession now, and I can't seem to figure out which I enjoy most.>> ^shang:

This game needs a trial or something I couldn't get into Beta for some reason and I'm a bit strapped for cash right at the moment so I can't afford to buy it yet.


Ditto. I also need free time!

Trailer was OK. Not awesome or terrible. Just umm, whatever.

Trailer is a metaphor for the ever static and unmoving MMOG genre and how GW2 breaks out of the mold and brings something fresh to MMOG gaming.

I wouldn't say I love the trailer, but I am rather amazed how few 'got it'.
